Miranda Hart reveals she was bedbound with ME for 3 years after finding success. Seems to be fine now, which is a pity cos her comedy sucks ass. She is banned in the Ulitzer house, along with Michael McIntyre. Still, could flare up again I guess so one to keep an eye on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh, I'd argue the car incident was way more dangerous for him at least in terms of immediate death chance. Hitting his head isn't good, but those burns could have been a lot worse.

JQW 288 Posted December 12 He was one of those comedians who would usually appear as a panellist on something like Blankety Blank or Punchlines, and who would also turn up on light entertainment shows to do a short comedy routine. I don't think he ever had a show of his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I mean, I clearly know who Duncan Norvelle was, what his schtick was, what his catchphrase was... and yet I have no recollection of any of his TV appearances. And I'm 99% sure it's not a Chubby Brown/Jethro thing where he was making big money on VHS so he didn't need to tone his act down for ITV. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently there was a pilot filmed for Blind Date which featured Duncan Norville as the host before the decision was taken to go for Cilla Black as the host.

Ulitzer95 12,845 Posted December 12 Daily Mail obit for Norvelle. Interestingly I can't find him in the birth index. Was "Duncan Norvelle" just a stage name? EDIT: Answer is "sort of". Was born as Duncan A. Norvell in 1958. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
